MasukGianna POV
I opened the door to Axel's office, and just as I had heard from the maids in the house, he was surrounded by naked girls who were barely dressed.
"busted." His friend laughed at him. "I'm leaving," he said when I threw a death glare his way. The girls who were with Axel followed him out of the door; they didn't care that I was Axel's wife as they smirked at me.
Not this again. I thought I wasn't going to let myself go through this again. My experience with Alpha Nathan was enough, and I don't need another.
"I want a divorce," I said with a strong voice, my hands on my waist as I stared at Axel, who was still sitting at his desk. He had a bored expression on his face and wasn't worried about my impossible request for a divorce; our marriage hadn't been up to a month. Nothing had happened between us; we both slept in separate rooms since I came to the pack. I barely bother to come out of my room. My foolish decision to marry Alpha Axel hits me every day after the day of our wedding. I should have thought more about it; there are other ways to escape alpha Nathan that didn't include handing my life over to alpha Axel.
"If I didn't know better, I would have said that you are jealous." alpha Axel stared directly into my eyes, trying to understand me.
I'm not jealous; after what had happened to me in my past life, I don't want another cheating husband, not again.
"We both know that I'm not going to give you a divorce; besides, you are overreacting." Axel said, "I want an heir from you; I can't get that if we divorced."
"I don't want to carry the baby of a cheating man." I thought back to my past life.
"Dax, you idiot." Axel muttered to himself, "You are misunderstanding things, Gianna; Dax only brought those girls here because he didn't want to believe that I got married."
There was nothing he wanted to tell me that I didn't see for myself. I saw the way he smiled at them while their hands were all over him. I wouldn't have known what was going on if the maid hadn't purposely gossiped loudly at the door to my room, almost as though they were telling me that they know the truth about who I was, a sad, pathetic woman who wasn't alpha Axel's real mate. Their words dared me that I couldn't do anything to stop him if he wanted to cheat on me. Our marriage wasn't a love marriage, but I'm not letting this handsome bastard cheat on me.
"I don't care about your explanations; just give me a divorce." If what he wants is to sleep around like a man whore, he's free to do it after divorcing me, not while I'm legally still his wife.
Axel stood to his feet and walked towards me; his scent engulfed me as his face was inches away from mine. For a dirty cheater, he smelled good, so good that I felt like grabbing him by his collar just so that I could breathe in his scent deeply.
"If you know that you don't want any trouble from me, you are going to fulfill your duty as my wife and Luna and give me an heir." His voice was soft, but his threats brought chills to my spine; it wasn't an empty threat, alpha Axel was a dangerous man; everything about him didn't hide it. "I'm sure you must know by now that most of my pack members don't like you, and you have already been rejected by your parents and your pack. If you divorce me, where will you go, Gianna?" He asked in a mocking tone; his words pierced my heart. It hurts because it was true.
"You want an heir because of my bloodline, don't you?" a shocked expression came to his face as he asked, "How did you _?"
"It's not hard to figure out why a man like you will marry a woman like me. Everyone who knew my family knows about our bloodline and how rare it is." I lied; I messed up by mentioning what I knew from my past life.
Marrying alpha Axel isn't so bad; he wants to use me, and I could also use him; gaining full authority as his wife could give me enough power and influence to gain my parents love and expose Quinn. I could also get revenge on Alpha Nathan and Quinn for what they did to me in the past.
"Okay, let's do this." I said to Axel. He stared at me with fascinated eyes that made me wonder what he was thinking. "You give me the full authority that comes from being your wife, and I give you the heir you want so much, but after birth, we divorce and go our separate ways."
I was a terrible mother in my past life, a foolish mother who couldn't protect her child. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't afraid of getting pregnant again. I didn't want to think about it, but I can't forget how my first baby died in my womb. I never got the chance to hold that child in my arms. I'm not confident with taking care of a child, so I will leave the baby with Alpha Axel.
"Sounds like you are trying to form a marriage contract with me," he said in a tone that wasn't displeased.
"Of course I want you to be a faithful husband while we are married."
Alpha Axel wraps his hands around my waist. "That's easy; you are the only woman I currently want on my bed." He leaned his face towards me.
"What are you doing?" I asked in a panicked tone as I tried to escape his grip.
"I'm starting our deal by getting the heir I want," Alpha Axel kissed me.
Our contract hasn't been drafted yet, but he didn't care.
Riley POV "My wife isn't going anywhere." Carl held my hand and sneered at Harlan. We were at the pack house because we were supposed to have a family dinner with Gianna and Axel. Ever since my marriage to Carl, Alpha Axel has insisted that I should stop calling him "alpha," because he's now a brother to me. It took me a while for me to get used to it, but I did.My cheek pulled into a faint smile as I thought of the past few days and the warmth of having a family. "Stop it. He's just a messenger; he hasn't done anything wrong. Besides, I want to see Alpha Easton again." Carl glared at me and possessively wrapped his arms around my waist. Refusing to let me go.Today was the last day of the alpha gathering. A lot of alpha left the pack yesterday, and some were finally leaving today. Easton was leaving today. After what had happened at my wedding, I hadn't gotten a chance to see him again. Not because I didn't want to. But because he refused to see me all through his stay in the p
Riley POV I move before Carl, as though I could feel him. I held his arms to stop him from hitting Alpha Easton. Carl growls loudly at Easton. Gianna and Axel watch from the front row of seats they occupied. They looked ready to drag Easton out of the wedding hall, and Gianna had a guilty look on her face. Carl doesn't understand, but I'm sure that alpha Easton is only acting this way because he cares about me. I ran to his pack the first time I wanted to get married, and the second time, he felt I was only getting married to Carl because I was pregnant. Wait... It seems I'm not pregnant after all. Somehow, knowing that made me relieved and slightly guilty because Carl really wanted us to have a child. I wasn't ready for having a child now, but with how nice Carl has been to me, along with his words of encouragement, I feel I can be ready to carry his pop one day. Just not today and not tomorrow."Please calm down," I beg Carl and then turn to Dr. Gatlin.Dr. Gatlin seemed out of
Alpha Easton's POV I'm here for the pack event. It's an important tradition that must be maintained among alphas. I'm here only because I'm doing my job; I'm not here to see that annoying omega. I have been restless all day long, chanting the same hopeless words to myself. I don't want to be like Nathan by growing an affection for a woman who didn't give a damn about me. Despite telling her that we were friends now and she was welcome in my pack whenever she wanted. She hasn't reached out to me once. With the way ladies drool over me and fight to spend a night with me on my bed, I never knew that I was a man who could easily be forgotten.Foolish omega, irritating woman. I want to see her even just once, but at the same time, I don't want her getting involved in my life anymore.She was such a mess the last time I saw her in my pack; maybe I'm just worried that she hasn't been able to get her life together again.I inwardly growl over my thoughts. Riley had her mate with her; of co
Carl POVMy heart thumped loudly in my ear, making me temporarily forget the sounds of my breath as I ran home, where I knew Riley was resting. I feel horrible for not knowing that my mate has been feeling sick. She and Gianna refused to say a word to me because of what I did, and I can't blame them for it. If I didn't meet Axel, who was still able to notice the subtle change in Riley's expression, I would still be in the dark. I'm grateful that my brother cares about my sorry ass.I threw the door to the house open, barely able to shut it behind me before rushing through the stairs and stopping in front of the room my mate was currently in. Hiding away from me. For days I have held back, giving her enough space and time to forgive me, but this time around I'm not going away. I need to see her and know that she's okay. That's the only thing that would calm me and my wolf.My knuckles softly hit the door as I control my agitation. There was a response, but I knew that she was insid
Riley POV Gianna stopped her excitement as a certain realization hit her. Having a baby wasn't bad, but this was something I never planned for; I can't bring myself to be as excited as she is even if I want to."I'm sorry." Gianna placed her hand behind my back, creating soothing circles around my tense muscles. "I got too excited with the idea that Dylan is finally going to have a playmate. When are you going to tell Carl?" She peers at me and then frowns.It's obvious that I have no intention of telling anyone about this.Carl would be overjoyed that we are going to have a pup. As much as I love it when he smiles, I don't want him to know that he won. He got me pregnant just like he wanted."Look I'm not in support of what Carl did." Gianna's tone was sober, with a serious expression on her face. "I want to be angry with him for a long time, but the deed has already been done. This isn't something you can go through alone. Let Carl stay at your side." I shift my angry gazes away
Riley POV "Careful..." The maid steadies the flowerpot in my hand with a pale expression on her face. She took it out of my hand and lined it up along with the other rolls of flowerpots that had been arranged. I mumbled out an apology to her, but she quickly dismissed it as she rushed to her next task. The pack was busy; everyone was preparing for an event. The Nuexus.It was an event where alphas from various packs gathered together.It's an old tradition that was meant to promote peace between different packs, and it took place once a year. Alpha Axel was the type of alpha who didn't care about associating with others, but ever since Gianna and Dylan came into his life. He had changed and was more willing to cooperate with others. The Nuexus makes use of one pack to hold the event that will be carrying on for weeks. Moonlight pack was chosen, and I think it's to test alpha Axel and how much he was willing to cooperate with other alphas after detaching himself from others for
